The first thing to note was that the ever-present ache in my chest was finally gone. Another thing was that it didn’t hurt at all to stand on my own two feet like it did for the majority of my life. Then I finally took in my…- 19.3 K • Ongoing
- (Chapter 5) I took a deep breath, closed my eyes to center myself, then finally opened them. I focused entirely on the girl standing beside me, keeping my face deliberately cold. “Please don’t go. I love you, Cal,” she begged as she stepped closer and reached for my hand. At least she tried to. I yanked my hand away and shot her a loathing glare. “I don’t. In fact, I fucking hate you,” I almost spat. “I never loved you.” She stumbled back, horrified. “Then why did you…

- (Chapter 1: Prologue) “Don’t worry, mister,” a panicked man shouted as he ran toward me. “I’ve called an ambulance. Everything’s going to be okay.” I scoffed weakly, even as pain screamed through every nerve in my body. Nothing was going to save me now. I lay sprawled on the asphalt, half my body crushed beneath the massive wheel of a delivery truck. The smell of burnt rubber mixed with gasoline hung heavy in the air, and somewhere nearby, a car horn kept blaring nonstop, as if…

- “Listen,” Taylor turned to me with utmost sincerity. “Have you ever worked with or served any celebrity before?” I shook my head, not wanting to tell him about Amanda Bynes. The less your employer knows about your other jobs, the better it is. “Then get ready,” he warned me. “We have multiple reservations this afternoon for the VIP section, and we’re a little short on the staff, so you’ll have to take over the duty. I guess you are experienced enough now to handle the big clients.…

- After mulling over the revised script for two straight days, I finally accepted that it was inevitable for me to take on mature roles with scenes that may be questionable at best, and entirely unnecessary at worst. It was bound to happen, given both the era I was working in and the kinds of films I was drawn to. I never had much interest in movies aimed at younger audiences anyway. Aside from a few major blockbusters, there were only a handful of exceptions, and even those were rare. With that reluctant…

Reddit practically exploded that morning. u/plainfullyobvious:OMG! You won’t believe this! Troy Armitage was spotted rushing into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center yesterday evening. It’s almost certain that Scarlett went into labor a little early. What do you guys think? Will it be a boy, or a girl who succeeds Harry Potter and the Joker? Within minutes, the thread began filling up with reactions. u/HufflepuffLeftBehind:Imagine being born and your dad is Troy Armitage. No pressure, kid. Just…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- “Action!” The moment the word was said, the entire set came alive. Music filled the air, echoing through the vast soundstage like a heartbeat as everyone moved in unison. It felt less like a film shoot and more like watching a living, breathing symphony. Scarlett and Natalie Portman were at the center, their movements blending seamlessly with those of the professional ballet dancers surrounding them. There was no clear distinction between the stars and the background performers, yet my eyes never…

- “But General Motors is considered one of the worst stocks to invest in right now,” Patricia said with a small frown. “I may not be as savvy an investor as Richard, but even I know that.” Troy smiled faintly, leaning back in his chair lazily. “Exactly. It’s hovering near its all-time low of the last decade. I had a meeting with someone very high up in the government a few days ago and received some information about what’s happening behind the scenes, things not yet known to the public.…

- Austin was practically glued to his computer screen, refreshing the page of his new favorite browser, Chrome, with the fervor of someone trying to summon a miracle. For the past few days, he had been doing this every few hours, hoping that somehow, somewhere, a stray ticket might appear. “Leave it,” Marissa said from beside him, lounging on the couch with her phone in hand. “It’s no use. You just weren’t lucky enough to get the seats. Accept it.” Austin shot her a glare sharp enough to…

- Rod Meyer glanced down at his watch, only to reel back in surprise. Nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes had already passed since the movie began. Most films would have wrapped up by now, yet this one still had several major plot points left to cover. The strange thing was that not for a second had Rod felt bored or thought the film was too long. He didn’t have time to dwell on that thought because the movie, aided by its tight editing, immediately surged back into motion. This time, the perspective…
